SECONDARY QUEST-A Light in the Darkness


Carson stormed forward, his AK spitting death at the remaining Marauder crewmen. As Boss blew two of the scum away with remarkable shotgun skills Carson killed another, grinning wolfishly as the scumbag slid down the side of barge, smearing Boss' vessel with his blood.

The last two guys looked at one another, clearly considering fleeing. AH didn't give them the chance. The little Eyebot swept in, chirping in what sounded to Carson like glee, and rammed into one of the remaining men's chests like an old world cannonball. The guy was thrown through the air like a ragdoll, clear off the barge and into the water. 

The remaining enemy leapt forward, a long serrated blade in his hand. Carson ducked, hearing the hiss of the cutlass pass above his ears. Ramming his AK barrel upwards into the guy's midriff he squeezed the trigger. The blast launched the Marauder backwards to slam off the barge rail. Wisps of smoke came from his clothing, where Carson's muzzle-flash had set his clothes alight. 

Carson didn't hesitate. Pulling the pin from the frag grenade Boss had given him he tossed it onto the enemy craft's deck. The explosion was far greater than Carson would have thought possible. He was lifts off his feet and slammed bodily into the barge's cabin wall. He crumpled, gasping for air. Not far off lay Boss, entangled with the destroyed Mister Gutsy. Carson struggled upright and offered Boss his hand. "Let me help you up." The major offered, wiping blood from his moustache. His nose was bleeding. ""Nice work, going toe to toe with a Mister Gutsy takes balls. How badly are you hurt?" The barge began to move again, leaving the wreckage of the two Marauder vessels to slowly sink into the Gulf of Mexico.
